‘He’s made comments that I know nothing about and if it’s been suggested that I’ve done anything untoward then I can confirm that I most certainly have not,’ said the former Palace boss, whose initial remarks were given to Talksport.

‘The matter is being addressed with him directly now on my behalf.’

Earlier, Warnock had told the radio station: ‘There’s no way I would’ve trusted him with a penalty. You’ve got to have somebody a little bit more cool, and he’s not like that, Jason.

‘He can whack a 35-yard free-kick in here and there but a penalty, with all the pressure on him at a place like White Hart Lane – not in a million years for me.’

In the one tweet he did not delete, Puncheon responded: ‘In the wake of a bad penalty and people’s opinions and banter which I accept @mattletiss7 on @talkSPORTLive this morning gets it right.’

One of the earlier tweets read: ‘Everything else is banter and opinions and as a man I will live with that which is fine but I will not live with his opinion.’
